Help publicise an open-source game - UFO: Alien Invasion
Open-source turn-based strategy game UFO: Alien Invasion is in the running to be named SourceForge's December Project of the Month. The poll closes in a day and we're not far behind the leaders (11%, 23 votes).
You need a Twitter account to vote, which has put a big dampener on our support. But if you've got an account please go and vote for us.
UFO: Alien Invasion recently reached a major milestone when we finally got all of our art content properly licensed in various FLOSS licenses. It represented more than two years replacing poorly licensed content and OpenGameArt played a big role in helping us reach that goal.
So please go and vote if you can, and help us bring more attention to open-source game development.
(to the moderators: I did send a message to Bart to ask if this was an appropriate post in these forums, but haven't heard back. Since the vote finishes in a day, I went ahead and posted, but please feel free to remove this post if it is a breach of etiquitte.)
+1 from me, I have started downloading it too.
Any way to vote with SF account?
EDIT: Nevermind, read opening post.
Red warrior needs caffeine badly.
For some reason, SF have opened the poll back up for another 9 days and we're just 12 votes from the lead (at the time of writing). If you can, please do vote. We're almost there!
Voted, another 12 to get to the top.
IndieDB has now opened voting for the Indie Game of the Year. For those who wanted to vote for us in the SF poll but didn't have a Twitter account, here's your chance to help us out! Please go and vote.
We've been open-source so long we started when the Quake 2 engine was the only thing available. All of our artwork is properly licensed and publically available and I've contributed a few of the most widely useful bits to OpenGameArt's repository.
We'd love to have your vote. Any high ranking will help us get more publicity, and in turn hopefully it will shed some light on what can be achieved in the open-source community.
Hmm, Twitter is bitter. Is there another way?

There's no need for Twitter in the IndieDB competition. Just check out our profile and IOTY banner below the summary.
Make a 298x250 ad for it and I'll add it to the test advertising run.
That's very generous Bart. Here's a PNG (65.2kb). If you can, please link directly to our IndieDB profile.
And here's a JPG (21.2kb). Whichever you prefer.
Thanks to everyone who voted for us. We made it into the Top 100 and now face another round of voting for the top spots. Please, go and vote for us again!
